Homecoming = excitement Excitement filled the air during this year's homecoming football game against Edina. Students came out in painted faces and green hair which ran when it started raining in the last quarter. But, that did not dampen the spirits of balloon carrying spectators. Pirate Pride was reflected in the dress and behavior of fans throughout the stands. The dance following had the biggest turnout of all Park Center dances. It helped to boost funds for the prom in the spring. The energy of the dancers was endless. Even football players who had put in four good quarters of strenuous activity had strength to get into the spirit of the crowd. They sang, danced, jumped or leaned against the wall to catch their breaths. Some just walked around draped in crepe paper headbands, others enjoyed talking with friends and snacking at the tables and chairs provided. The night was sure to be remembered by all. Even the chaperones enjoyed themselves. 1. The release of green and gold balloons during halftime was a crowd pleasing event. 2. Ron Larson and Tom Seifert show their Park Center Pride. 3. M M's melt in your mouth, not in your hand. 4. A touchdown causes a surge of reaction in the crowd. 5. Excitement blurs the crowd. 14 STUDENT LIFE
